Juventus is out from the CL

-snip
Juventus did not qualify Cry its unfortunate cause the team was popular but lost against Ajax, its undeniable that Ajax strategy performance did go up but I'm sure Tottenham will play seriously to advance the final. I'm sure Liverpool will get rid of Barcelona, The final will be exciting if Tottenham vs Liverpool Wink.

You might be very disappointed. Most of the betting sites were favoring Juve and they were leading 1-0 (thanks to C.Ronaldo) before Donny van de Beek and Matthijs de Ligt destroyed their semi-final hopes. Ajax will play their semi-finals against Tottenham Hotspur, and there is a real chance that they may face Barcelona at the finals.

I don't know what Uthappa was thinking when he was out there at the crease. 9 runs out of 20 would be recognized as a poor display even in 50-over matches. And this was a T20 match, with a target of 214 runs. In the end even Russell could not save the KKR. They had plenty of wickets in hand, but fell short by 10 runs. Yes... just 10 runs.

Tahir mentioned that he would retire from ODIs after the World cup. Good thing that this legend can still play in the IPL though. It will be interesting to see how Du Plessis captains such a diverse mix of incredible talent.

Tahir did the right thing by migrating to South Africa, at a time when South Africa was losing so many of its native-born players to teams such as England and New Zealand. Had he remained in Pakistan, then most probably he would have never got the recognition and fame.

Why would they be sending oil to Cuba and not getting paid for it? It doesn't make sense to me?

They are not sending the crude for free. Thousands of Cuban doctors are stationed across various Venezuelan state hospitals and the crude is being used to pay for their services. Without these doctors, huge number of Venezuelans will be denied quality medical care. Actually it is big business, but mostly hidden from the world media:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_medical_internationalism

Quote
In 2007, Cuba has 42,000 workers in international collaborations in 103 different countries, of whom more than 30,000 are health personnel, including no fewer than 19,000 physicians

Quote
Cuba's largest and most extensive medical aid effort is with Venezuela. The program grew out of the emergency assistance provided by Cuban doctors in the wake of the December 1999 mudslides in Vargas state, which killed 20,000 people. Under this bilateral effort, also known as the "oil for doctors" program, Cuba provides Venezuela with 31,000 Cuban doctors and dentists and provides training for 40,000 Venezuelan medical personnel. In exchange, Venezuela provides Cuba with 100,000 barrels of oil per day. Based on February 2010 prices, the oil is worth $7.5 million per day, or nearly $3 billion per year.

Now I don't want to compare Hitler with Abu Bakr al Baghdadi or the NSDAP with ISIS. But just want to make one point clear. The ISIS claims that they are butchering the infidels as per the instructions given in the Islamic holy books and tenets. On the other hand, the NSDAP never claimed that they are exterminating the Slavs, Jews, Roma.etc as per the instructions given in any of the Christian holy books.

The problem is that when people get horny, they tend to think with their dicks rather than the brain. And look at what it has done to Bezos. He lost $35 billion. For heaven's sake this is more than the GDP of Nepal (which happens to be an Asian nation with a population of 30 million).
7267  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the most problem facing in the market? on: April 18, 2019, 07:09:53 PM
I would say that the biggest problem that we face right now is the declining volumes. You can compare the daily volumes as of now, to those we had in the first half of 2018. There has been a major reduction in volume. Another issue in my opinion is the emergence of too many exchanges. Rather than restricting the trading to a dozen or two major exchanges, now we have thousands of them. This increases the risk for the traders.
7268  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you need cash for everyday use? on: April 18, 2019, 07:06:32 PM
Actually, I can't use crypto in my country.Because It's already banned and anyone using bitcoin will be sent to jail.So, I had to convert crypto to fiat first and then only I can use it.I heard in some Countries bitcoin is available for payment or shopping but in my country we can't take advantage of that.      

If Bitcoin is banned in your country, then how are you going to convert your coins to cash? There is no 100% anonymous method for doing this, unless you trust someone to exchange physical cash for Bitcoin (and even that method is extremely risky).
7269  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Beat Banks? on: April 18, 2019, 07:04:45 PM
I dont think of any reasons why we are comparing banks to crypto since they are both have diffrrent functions. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and banks are institutions that manages a currency. They are both different and can be used at the same time. No one should ever left behind.

In some instances, Bitcoin can be considered as a competitor to the banks. And even the banks consider Bitcoin as a threat for their survival. So my opinion is that there is nothing wrong in comparing Bitcoin with banks. There is plenty of overlap between the two.
7270  Economy / Economics / Re: The bulls are back, bitcoin on the way to $5k on: April 18, 2019, 03:00:25 PM
Well I think it is too early to say that the bulls are back again. Let's all just be prepared for the upcoming bull run. Let's all fill our bags with quality coins that will give us huge profits when the time comes again.

During the last bull run, most of the alts went up more than Bitcoin itself (in % terms). I don't think that the same will happen this time, as the investors are having the opinion that many of the alts are over-priced. So be very careful while choosing coins for your portfolio.
7271  Economy / Economics / Re: Barclays: ‘Facebook Coin’ to bring in $19 billion by 2021 on: April 18, 2019, 02:54:07 PM
now i buying facebook stock. but how do we get this facebook coin when?  Frankly, I don't trust Mark Zuckerberg.  how can I trust a person who sells people's data? they will inflate the price of facebookcoin themselves.  The goal is to collect all people's money...

Buying the Facebook stock may not be a wise decision now. I will tell you what I think. Facebook has reached its saturation point and many of its users are shifting to other channels such as Reddit and Insta. I am afraid that FB will eventually end up like Orkut.
7272  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitcoin Debit Card on: April 18, 2019, 02:40:37 PM
LOL!
Logically a huge number of posters should be from Asia. Asia where Wirex doesn't work. Asia where US cards also don't work. Asia where TenX has some chances to get to if they'd advance in what they're claiming to be doing (they'll cover APAC soonTM)

You don't need to generalize. Some of the Asian-based banks are issuing debit cards that can be loaded with BTC or BCH. Wagecan is an example, and I think they are based in Taiwan. On top of that some of the European banks also ship their debit cards to Asia.
7273  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-04-13] What Russia’s ‘Digital Iron Curtain’ Means for Bitcoin Users on: April 18, 2019, 02:36:25 PM
@veleten. China holds $1.17 trillion in US treasury bonds, while Russia does not hold anything and might also have given up their position as a nuclear super power.

Russia doesn't want to sponsor the debt of the United States and therefore they sold the treasury bonds and purchased gold bars instead. And the Russian nuclear weapons are much more potent than what the US has. On top of that, Russia has the most powerful ICBMs.

The economy is getting weaker by the day and the new president (Jair Bolsonaro) is a mentally deranged person.

the president jair bolsonaro was the best option that the Brazilians chose, it will reduce the corruption that has become very big in Brazil.

And what has he done against corruption? The most corrupt Brazilian president in history happens to be Michel Temer (who also is the mentor of Bolsonaro). Is Bolsonaro brave enough to jail his mentor? All he can do is to destroy the Amazon rain-forest and kill the tribal people who live in the forest.
7275  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Chinese man jailed for 3.5 years after stealing electricity to mine bitcoin on: April 18, 2019, 02:31:14 PM
What he did was robbery. Whether he was a Bitcoin miner or not is irrelevant here. If the amount was a few hundred USD, then he could have escaped punishment with a monetary fine. Anyway... I don't understand the need to steal electricity. If he could afford the mining rigs, how can we say that he couldn't afford the electricity.
7276  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Signature Campaigns taxes on: April 18, 2019, 02:27:48 PM
I wouldn't bother. The amount you can earn from these campaigns are quite small, even for Legendary ranks.
That's right. If to cash out by little like 50-100$ a month a bank won't has any pretensions to those money. Taxation is more about big sum of money which source you should represent to the bank and taxation system.

In many of the countries, there is a limit after which the income is taxable. For example, here in India you can show income up to Rs. 50,000 as gift from strangers. After that amount, you need to pay taxes on the additional amount.
7277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you recieve stolen bitcoins using a bitcoin mixer? on: April 18, 2019, 11:50:37 AM
Hi. For people that use bitcoin mixers to mix their bitcoins, is it possible that somebody may actaully end up with stolen bitcoins? So in this case, using a bitcoin mixer could be far worse. For example if these stolen bitcoins are being tracked, then is it possible legit users using a mixing service, could end up with stolen bitcoins? If so, is there any way to prevent this or to find out if you have received stolen coins?

As far as I know, most of the mixers take in dirty coins and give out clean coins. When I mean "clean coins", most often they are freshly mined coins, or coming from 100% verifiable sources.

With the new coin is always interesting.  Because you do not know how she will behave.  Maybe shoot and maybe not.  Because it seems to me that not everything is as sad as it seems.  On the new coins you can learn.  They are cheaper.

When you mean "cheaper" you indicate that they have low market cap, right? The problem with the new coins is that I have seen many instances where the developers and promoters abandon the project after they are able to dump most of their tokens. Once that happens, there is hardly any chance of a future recovery in the exchange rates.
7279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You Can't Be Jobless And Be Participating In Bounties on: April 17, 2019, 07:31:11 PM
Feels sad if someone put 100% of their life by doing a bounty, you still have a lot free time bounty only need 2-4 hours to make a report. With that time you can try to search a job to get a main income for your economy.

You need 2-4 hours every day for bounty? Unless you are doing translation or bug reporting bounty, I have to say that the information is incorrect. I used to participate in social media bounties and doing 30-40 of them took only 1 to 1.5 hours per day.
7280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coin cleansing on: April 17, 2019, 07:28:52 PM
So binance have delisted BSV and hopefully others will follow soon. Should exchanges collaborate and delist all the other shitcoins?

Coin cleansing will help the crypto economy by focusing more on real projects, but it risks centralisation

I don't think that the smaller exchanges are going to delist BSV. Actually they don't have a choice and many of them desperately need the additional revenue. If the major exchanges ban BSV, then the traders are going to flock to the smaller ones. And in the end, money matters for the exchanges.
